To start our journey to zero, we needed to measure our current carbon footprint to address opportunities to reduce or offset now and in the future. We identified 119 tonnes emitted by the firm during 2020/21 verified by an independent auditing process.

We have offset 94 tonnes of CO2e through the purchase of some AgCoTech Carbon Credits generated after the consumption of 200 medicated lick blocks by cattle in Laos.

We have committed to purchasing 50 additional tonnes of AgCoTech Carbon Credits for the 2022 financial year through their ongoing projects in Laos and Australia.

"AgCoTech's approach is unique - with a focus not only on reducing emissions, but also positively impacting the social and economic circumstances of Laotian farmers, and improving animal welfare. There must be real and meaningful action to preserve this planet, and our partnership with AgCoTech will allow us to contribute."- Lance Pollard, Managing Partner, Bennett & Philp Lawyers

"We have a received some blocks from the project and now our cattle look healthier and grow faster. Before the emission control blocks it was difficult to bring the cattle home at night, today they return home more easily because they know the emission control blocks are waiting for them."

- Mr. Lae, Farmer from Nongchong Village

"Rural Aid is proud to offer our primary producers a range of tools to help them get out of a tight spot. Lick blocks are now a part of a Rural Aid toolkit that also contains financial assistance, hay deliveries, counselling sessions, water tanks and water deliveries. In addition to the traditional benefits associated with supplement feeding, these AgCoTech lick blocks have the added advantage of reducing methane emissions from grazing livestock."
